1 Rupee 1985 A-47 Pratap Kishen Kaul Bundle

This is a serial-wise bundle of 1 rupee Indian banknotes issued in 1985, signed by Finance Secretary Pratap Kishen Kaul, featuring the plain inset (no letter in the watermark window). The obverse of the note displays the denomination in Hindi and English, the Government of India emblem, and Kaul’s signature. The reverse side features the iconic offshore oil drilling platform, surrounded by wheat ears, representing India’s economic progress. Such bundles with consecutive serial numbers, preserved blue bands, and original stitching are rare and highly prized by collectors—especially from the mid-1980s, an era noted for distinctive design elements and relatively low circulation of 1 rupee notes issued directly by the Government of India.
